59:11Now PlayingTonight we’re diving into the chaos surrounding Donald Trump’s strike on Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduroa dramatic escalation that has raised alarms at home and abroad.
And looming over all of it is one unavoidable question: Is this a distraction from the Epstein files? As damaging revelations continue to surface and pressure mounts for accountability, the timing of this action has many asking whether a foreign crisis is being used to change the subject, flood the news cycle, and rally political loyalty through fear and spectacle.
Joining Don tonight is James Carville, who lays out why he believes this escalation fits a familiar political playbook and why Americans should be paying close attention to what’s happening behind the headlines.
